But that didn't hide the concern Boucher has for the fact the Lightning lost its top two defensemen - Eric Brewer and Victor Hedman - to upper body injuries in the team's 5-1 win over the Flyers.
Brewer did return in the third after leaving with eight minutes left in the second, a result of taking several punches in a fight with Wayne Simmonds.
Brewer was able to return to the game and should be fine moving forward. He's established himself as a team leader since coming to Tampa Bay so losing him on the blue line would hurt.
Eric Brewer just took the ice for morning skate. Still listed as day to day. #TBLightning
Look for Brewer to stay on the top defensive unit. Through six games this season, the former captain of the Blues produced an assist with a minus-4 rating.
